I recently had foot surgery to repare a stubborn stress fracture that wouldnt get better... so I had to find something to keep me sane and quasi in shape. I started doing different Pilates videos at home (Windsor is by far my favorite... also the 'Cruch' series has a pretty intense mat workout) and I found that I got pretty lean pretty quick. My bulky leg muscles lengthened out, and when I got back on my bike, I actually felt stronger. I HIGHLY suggest it...
"There's something about getting grimy and sweaty with the gals. You feel like you're breaking the rules. You're not made of sugar and spice and everything nice. You're not someone's girlfriend and you're not someone's mother. For that moment, at least, all you have to be is a cyclist." -Kimberly Grob
